Another steady day of calls for the Bedford Fire Department in the book. Between EMS calls and Fire Alarms, members battled a wind driven 40 acre brush fire that included dozens of hay bales all while a first due working structure was being handled by Engine 1. Thank you to all the local agencies that provided manpower during these incidents. ...
